Interior Bulbs.....were to buy them @?
So I got my 84 z28 and I was wondering where I could prchase some bulbs for my dash and what size I would need, I am looking for the white bulbs that are just very bright and last "forever" because mine are yellow and I can hardly see my gauges at night time.
My other question is also as to where I can buy the lightbulb that goes in the middle of the roof lining but the bulb that I am looking for is the bright ones...thanks!

You are looking for LED bulbs. A search will show many threads for 'how to' instructions, as well as places to buy them. Start here:

OE or after market you can brighten the gauges a bit more:

Are you talking about the dome light? That is called a festoon bulb. Here is the LED festoon - RL4410-xHP9 rigid loop - I have in my '86 dome lght. It isn't as bright as I would like but it works just fine for my needs.

I also changed out the two map lights with LEDs, 921-x9 wedge base bulbs, and the two courtesy/footwell lights with WLED-x5 T10 wide angle wedge base LEDs. All the lighting in my interior is LED.
As for the gauge cluster I simply used new 194 and 168 bulbs which I think a couple are the Sylvania Silver Star brand or some such name that escapes me at the moment. The bulbs in the tranny display and heater/ac control panel were all replaced, too.

For the dome light you could use a board, such as the one in the following link:
